wellness, fitness & nutrition

Woman can avoid many health difficulties with good lifestyle choices. Bon Secours Virginia can help you choose wisely when it comes to eating right and exercising. Weight, diet, and exercise can directly affect conditions, like diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea and obesity. Obesity is a serious issue. And, it's not just about weight. Obesity increases the risk of conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Obesity also is tied to women’s health conditions, including urinary incontinence, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and irregular menstruation. Making sound choices now can help you avoid or manage these problems.
